I may be wrong, but I seem to remember “Lord of Ireland” was a direct equivalent of “Lord of the English”, the title accorded to a king-nominate before their coronation. I believe a crown had actually been commissioned, but John’s visit to Ireland was such a disaster all plans for a coronation were abandoned.
